Third Grade Weekly Update
Dear Parents,
I hope you’re looking forward to the weekend as much as I am! Report cards have been given to third graders and I ask that you go over them with your child like you would with classwork sent home. Students will be able to see where they excel and where there is room for growth, both academically and behaviorally. Along with report cards will be STAR testing results, AR reading lists and XtraMath students reports. You may notice that Percentile Ranking (PR) have either gone up or down, it’s important to know that as the year progresses the tests get harder. A more accurate measure of progress on the STAR test is the scaled scores and growth rates. Also, please remember that STAR test results are only one piece of information we use to measure academic achievement at SPN.
Here are some dates to plan for:
- Friday, Mar. 17: Report Card Day, St. Patrick’s Day: Free Dress (Green)
- Friday, Mar. 31: Noon Dismissal
- Tuesday, April. 4: Stations of the Cross
- Wednesday, April 5: Tenebrae
- Thursday, April 6: Field Trip to SF Ballet from 9:30-1:00pm
- Friday, April 7th: Good Friday, NO SCHOOL
- Mon.-Fri., April 10-14: NO SCHOOL, Easter Break
- Tuesday, April 25: Free Dress April Bdays
- Thursday, April 27: Spirit day Free Dress- Class themes

We will have an “in school field trip” on March 21st called The Shelley’s Adventure Experience. It will be presented by award winning author Kentrell Martin, and is an interactive book reading that includes American Sign Language. Families have an opportunity to purchase a goody bag that includes an autographed book and other items. Please see the link found here for more information and ordering.
